There is never an excuse for killing endangered animal species.

yes. you see how badass the deer are in those professionally managed deer farming operations? Put up a big fence and hire some of those guys to manage the elephant/rhino/etc herds and allow guided hunts and watch how the herds repopulate
the problem is there is no wildlife management out there and all you hippies that pour red paint on people trying to kill a game animal to feed there families

How many people do you think this feeds? tens of thousands probably.
do you think he does it because he wants to feed poor people? or he gets his kicks killing animals?

Hell at least deer aren't close to being extinct even though you can't even eat them they are so full of steroids (the high fence ones).

“Up until 2008, we had no rhinos being poached in South Africa because demand was being supplied by legal sales from live rhino. Then they banned that trade and those sales were mirrored by rhino poaching deaths in Kruger National Park.”
hmmmm

That first burn significantly contributed to the decision months later by the body that manages the global wildlife trade, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), to ban all international trade of ivory. Under that reprieve, elephant populations slowly recovered. The protection was undermined, however, in 1997 and 2000 when Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, and Zimbabwe lowered the status of their country’s elephant populations under CITES, enabling limited ivory sales to Japan in 1999 and to Japan and China in 2008.
Proponents continue to argue that flooding the market with legally sourced ivory or rhino horn would curtail poaching pressure on animals while providing funds for conservation, but with the one-off ivory sales, ivory demand surged, and poaching intensified. In 2008, for example, Kenya lost 116 elephants, whereas in 2009, following the 2008 ivory sale, that number more than doubled, to 267. “Some people had this simplistic view that when they dumped ivory into China, it would depress prices and drive criminals out of business,” Kahumbu says. “But that’s not what happened: It triggered interest and caused the price to rise.”

Do you believe that there is a sustainable supply for the asian demand for Ivory and Rhino horn?
Even close?
Even close?

serious question:
the big game hunters (and their defenders) always say that the money they spend on the hunts goes towards saving the species; killing one saves 2, etc.
If they (big game hunters) are really that concerned with saving the species, why not just donate the money instead?

So burning a product is going to stop it's trade?
Kind of like when they raid drug stocks and destroy them it stops the drug trade, right?
All that ivory could have done more good being sold at auction than was done by burning it.
That's that famous thinking that has made Africa the most successful continent on the planet.
We wuz kangs and all that.

I heard the reason the chinese turned to rhino horns for medicine is because they had a communist single payer healthcare system and you had to wait months to see a doctor

I get emails all the time about donating money to africa but it's usually the princes and not the elephants sending them

No, nothing like that at all actually.
There's an infinite supply of blow in South America.
Elephants, Lions, and Rhino populations are in the thousands.

I guess, to fund corrupt African governments and line their leaders pockets, all while perpetuating a market of an unsustainable product.

No, in the past the president would have seized the ivory, sold it to china, and built a mansion.

I'm all for hunting but you should never kill wild animals like this, and aren't elephants endangered anyway? Humans are shitty people, we honestly ruin everything beautiful about our planet.

Whole buncha stupid ITT.

I was getting tired of Jimmy Johns anyway. Fat frick. What a waste.

Unfortunately, many times the money paid by the hunters are the majority of the funds they have to protect massive amounts of habitat. I don't like it, but if a few have to die to protect the majority, then I'm for it.

sjw's and the likes went after his company about a year ago for this.
